Enabling and groundworks.

We work with you to deliver land remediation, demolition, bulk earthworks and foundations that turn raw land into a site ready for development.

We open up sites for housebuilders – clearing, remediating and re-profiling land – then installing the foundations and substructure that everything above depends on. And we can offer speed and the flexibility to adjust when circumstances change because we have our own plant and directly employed teams.

Estate infrastructure.

We deliver everything you need – roads, drainage, sewers and multi-utilities – with an attention to detail that is second to none.

We install spine roads, estate drainage, sewers and multi-utilities to S38, S104 and S278 standards, working alongside developers including Persimmon and Taylor Wimpey. Our experience delivering more than £450m of residential infrastructure means we can work closely with site teams so adoptions and approvals keep pace with sales.

Homes and care.

McPhillips is the award-winning team behind a range of extra-care and care-sector housing, housing-association schemes and private residential developments all built to last.

We build for housing associations, care providers and developers – using modern methods of construction and a collaborative approach which involves our clients and partners throughout. The Wrekin Housing Trust is just one of many organisations to come back to us because we deliver on time, on budget and to a standard residents are proud to call home.

Built for the long term.

What a project leaves behind matters just as much as the building itself. That’s why we set clear social value targets at the start of every contract — including local jobs, training, supply chain spend and community benefit — and report against them throughout.

Frequently asked.

Quick answers to what clients in this sector ask most. Can’t see yours? Get in touch and we’ll come back within two working days.

Get in touch

Yes. We work with developers and consortiums, deploying our directly employed teams flexibly across phases and plots to keep demanding multiple-build programmes moving.

We deliver S38, S104 and S278 adoptable roads, drainage, sewers and multi-utilities, working to NHBC and warranty-provider standards.

Whenever we can raise quality and speed up delivery, we use MMC and off-site fabrication – particularly on extra-care and care-sector schemes where certainty matters.
